A. About the PCAP Project
The Palestinian Community Assistance Program (PCAP) is a three-year, $100 million dollar program
implemented under a Cooperative Agreement with the USAID West Bank and Gaza mission. Mercy Corps acts as the prime, with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and CHF International as sub-recipients, and other sub-grants planned through an RFA mechanism. CHF’s portion of PCAP has a budget of $15 million to implement the following activities:
Rehabilitation or construction of 20 community infrastructure projects to augment the provision
of basic services throughout Gaza (under IR 1.1)
Rehabilitation of 400 conflict-damaged homes (sole implementer under IR 1.2)
Provision of 2,000 agricultural production kits (urban gardening, poultry production, and rabbit
production), including training and extension services (under IR 2.1)
Technical and management capacity building for contractors (under IR 2.4)
As a part of the implementation of each objective, CHF has a mandate to conduct outcome-level surveys
for key indicators for Intermediate Results (IRs) 1.1, 1.2, and 2.1.
